Among the areas in which Bill Belichick would like to see better production is special teams. The Patriots are averaging 20.8 yards per kickoff return, which ranks 30th in the league. The Jets, on the other hand, have made plays at various points this season on special teams, leaving Belichick to rate play in that department as “really important’’ tonight. “The Jets do a really good job on special teams,’’ Belichick said. “They had the blocked punt against Dallas, which was a huge play. They lead the league in kickoff returns. They’ve got a good field goal rush team. They’re good on kickoff coverage. [Jeremy] Kerley on punt returns, punt blocks, they do a good job all the way around.’’
